u see that there is no kapamilya on this one, other than Julia Clarete and Gladys Reyes who among played a villain on the other side of the fence now being another villain here in Bakekang, but now they are faithful kapuso's. i am very happy about the cast. a job well done. a sure hit for me. a surprise that Jaya is one of the cast. i never saw her act before. Lovi Poe as Kristal, im not too impress. I was expecting Yas or Nads to play the role. But we'll see how she will take the role. Iwa Motto is a perfect maldita here. despite all the controversies about her, i cant stop but liking her more. Sheryl Cruz rocks, she deserves to be on the cast. Cogie is back with a show after his Kung Mawawala ka stint and guestings on some other shows. Jay Manalo who was last seen acting at ABS. Yasmien Kurdi, Nads and Marky Cielo who were all from Encantadia, Nadz being on Etheria and Marky on Encantadia: Pag Ibig Hanggang Wakas. I also just found out that this will be Julia and Gladys's first primetime drama for GMA. i am also happy that Ara was given a new drama, aswell as Manilyn and Raymart.

for GMA PINOY TV subscribers, there is no date yet if the show will be airing the same time. But once i found out, i will inform all of you right away.=)

Sorry, sa aming insistence na dapat the whole list of Pinoy winners sa World Championships of Performing Arts (WCOPA) ang ibinalita ng network na nagbalita tungkol sa winners nila.
Dahil naniniwala kami na ang magbalita ng totoo ay magbabalita nang buo at kumpleto. At kahit hindi sa inyo, dapat ibalita.
Nakatanggap tuloy kami ng feedback: Bakit daw maingay ang pagkapanalo ng ilang medalya nina Jonalyn at Brenan samantalang naka-qualify lang sila sa Finals Group Category (Senior)?
Sa Finals Vocals Solo (Senior), natalo sila sa third round ng Vocals Solo ni Jeremie Antiporda. Sorry talaga. Nabulgar tuloy. Sino naman kaya si Jeremie A?

------------------------------------------------------
okay..so watsup with this? instead of being proud eh talagang iniintriga pa nila ang pagkapanalo nina Jonalyn at Brenan..so what kung sila lang ang ma ibalita ng GMA? eh kapuso sila..thats just obvious na sila lang ang inewnews nila..ewan ko lang..basta..proud na proud ako for the two..

Updates On Robin-Angel Soap...

2006-08-15T14:15:00.000-07:00

Latest on Robin's soap for GMA is that he will be teaming up with Angel Locsin. Last I heard, it will be tittled, Asian Tressures. The two will shoot on different countries of Asia, but on its first episode, it will be shot in Palawan. writers last week already visited the place to familiarize for the story. It will probably not be a fantasy soap but it will be an action soap. Which I think really fits for the two stars of the serie. No dates have been given for its playdate or shooting yet. But this will be Angel's soap after Majika.

2006 World Hip-Hop Dance Championship - won by Philippines

2006-08-14T00:45:00.000-07:00

Another one to be proud of..Only 2 weeks ago, July 30 to be exact, that Philippines again dominated on a contest..this time on dancing..About last week, 2006 World Hip-Hop Dance Championship was held..33 countries competed for this competition..And they all put together a two minute routine, and trained for months for them to have this perfect..And this year, Philippine team came first while Dziah from New Zealand came 2nd..and Tobag/Trinidad came third..here is a video of the Philippine team..a little bit shaky but its really really cool routine Philippines put together..

Ngayun Naman Si Lovi as Crystal...

2006-08-08T04:26:00.000-07:00

Tama ‘yung nasusulat na si Lovi Poe ang gaganap na Crystal, anak ni Bakekang, sa bagong drama series ng GMA 7 na Bakekang.
Ang dinig namin, kakaibang launching ang gagawin ng Siyete kay Lovi.
Very tempting daw ang offer ng GMA 7 management kay Lovi, kaya kahit noong una ay nangako ang anak ni Fernando Poe, Jr. (SLN) sa inang si Rowena Moran na hindi muna siya mag-aartista at singing lang ang aatupagin niya sa showbiz ay nabali ang kanyang pangako.
Kami mismo ay witness sa importansiyang ibinibigay ngayon ng Siyete kay Lovi.
Sa trade fair party ng GMA 7 na ginanap sa Embassy Club sa The Fort ay isa sa executives ang nag-abang kay Lovi hanggang sa makarating siya sa event nila.
And mind you! Isa-isang ipinakilala si Lovi sa mga inimbitahang top executives ng ilang advertising agencies, huh!

Lovi Poe?? humm..ang dami daming lumalabas na magiging dito sa show na to..ewan ko na kung ano ang paniniwalaan ko...pero Lovi Poe is a good choice..a new face..pwede...to me lang naman

Love 2 Love..Hindi Daw Mamamaalam

2006-08-06T02:38:00.000-07:00

TULUY-TULOY pa rin ang Love to Love. Napakalaki pa rin ng galit sa GMA-7 ng nag-kakalat na mawawala na raw ang Love to Love at hanggang this season na lang daw ito just because it has not been doing good against the competition lately. May kamag-anak yata ito sa MERALCO dahil sa-nay naman itong manguryente. So, when this 11th season ends as scheduled at pumasok ang 12th season by next month, dedma na lang ulit ito as if nothing happens. Another GMA -7 show na naman siguro ang pagtutuunan nito ng pansin. Best Friends starring Ciara Sotto and Paolo Ballesteros and Fat is Fabulous starring Paolo Contis and Isabel Oli will continue its course after SOP Gigsters. Kung magiging mas maikli ito compared to the other seasons, so be it, but then there are very successful seasons in the past na hindi rin naman na-extend kahit napakataas ng ra-tings (remember 9th season na 12 episodes lang ang itinakbo?). We just find it ironic na pinagkakakitaan ang Love to Love in several ways, good and bad. Kasi habang ikinakalat na magsasara na raw ang Love to Love, tuloy pa rin ang pagpi-PR (read: nababayaran sila) nila sa artista na kasali sa said season -- double pay, di ba?

GMA vs. ABS saga continues..

2006-08-06T02:35:00.000-07:00

Pagkatapos ng Bakekang ay muli ring ibabalik ang Flordeluna at Annalisa sa television. Balitang ire-revive ng ABS-CBN ang Flordeluna na pinagbidahan dati ni Janice de Belen. Nagpa-audition ang Dos kung sino ang gaganap sa role na ni Janice. Ang Annalisa nama’y GMA-7 ang magre-revive na pinagbidahan ng namayapang si Julie Vega. Ngayon pa lang ay marami na ang nag-aabang kung sino ang gaganap na Flordeluna at Annalisa. Plus sino ang hahataw sa rating ng dalawang drama series na kinagiliwang panoorin noon sa telebisyon.

What A Great First Year For GMA Pinoy TV

2006-08-05T03:47:00.000-07:00

"Time flies, just when you?re having fun."Cliched but true, but in a breath, this best sums up GMA PINOY TV in the international scene as it marks its first anniversary celebration this month.And what an exciting and very fruitful first 12 months it has been!From several parts of the United States, GMA Pinoy TV has stretched its wings to Japan, Guam, Saipan, Malaysia and the latest addition to its growing international audience - the Middle East.The positive response generated by GMA Pinoy TV has inspired successive launches in other parts of the globe. The overwhelming figures translate to the fact that overseas Filipinos are excited to have their share of heartwarming and value-laden entertainment programs as well as quality public service, which the Kapuso Network is known for.It was also because of this powerful programming that GMA Network has risen beyond local recognition, making heads turn in the international community after being voted as the Best Terrestrial Channel in the Asian TV Awards last year.More and more Filipinos from various parts of the globe are expected to be glued to GMA PINOY TV before this year ends.

Movie Nina Angel At Dennis-Di Na Muna Matutuloy..

2006-08-04T14:38:00.001-07:00

SHELVED ang project ng Regal Entertainment na I Love Paris with Angel Locsin and Dennis Trillo as loveteam.

Wala nang panahong gawin ito nina Angel at Dennis dahil magsisimula na sila ngayong August ng Mano Po 5, ang isa sa tatlong 2006 Metro Manila Film Festival-Philippines entries ni Mother Lily Monteverde.

Ang iba pang entries ng Regal ay Zsa Zsa Zaturnah at Super Noypi.

Nakausap namin si Roselle Monteverde-Teo na nagsabing next year nila itutuloy ang I Love Paris. Naging priority kasi nilang gawin ang horror-suspense titled Text for Angel and Den-nis kung saan kasama pa ang real-life boyfriend ni Angel na si Oyo Boy Sotto. Ang Text ay co-produce ng Regal at APT Films.

Wika ni Roselle: Gahol na kami sa oras, dapat masimulan agad ang Ma-no Po 3. May deadline ka-si sa filmfest. Naging dahilan ng pagkaantala ng Mano Po 5 ang paghihintay ng availability nina Dennis at Angel. Almost everyday ang taping nila sa daily soap na Majika. Bukod pa nga sa shooting nila for Text.”

So far, super malala-king projects ang handog ni Mother Lily sa filmfest. Hangad niyang magta-gumpay lahat ang entries niya para sipagin pa siyang gumawa ng maraming pelikula next year.

Mga Pasaway!!

2006-08-04T03:06:00.000-07:00

Punung-puno ng drama ang Startalk bukas dahil makapagsasalita na ang ‘Pasaway Girls’ na sina Jackie Rice at Iwa Moto tungkol sa pagkakasuspendi sa kanila ng GMA 7.

Sila rin ang tampok sa Showbiz Stripped kinagabihan. Napanood ko na ang interview ni Kuya Ricky Lo sa dalawa. Bumaha ng luha habang kinakapanayam sila. Humingi ng paumahin ang mga hitad at aminado silang may mga nagawa silang kagagahan na hindi na dapat maulit.

Nakausap ko ang ina ni Jackie na si Vicky Sobreo-Rice at nasaktan daw siya sa mga naglabasang balita tungkol sa kanyang anak.

"Nagugulat na lang ako sa mga nababasa ko, dahil hindi totoo ‘yung mga naglabasan tungkol kay Jackie!" matalas na pahayag ng mommy ni Jackie.

Love 2 Love..Mag BaBaBye Na..

2006-08-03T15:37:00.000-07:00

Gaano katotoo na tatapusin na lang ang kasalukuyang umeereng Season 11 ng Love to Love sa GMA -7 at mamamaalam na ito sa ere? Ito ang tsika sa amin ng taga-L2L kamakailan na ‘til September na lang ito at papalitan na ito ng ibang programa. "Four weeks kasing nanalo sa ratings game ang Love Spell sa Love to Love kaya nginarag kami ng management, e, siguro time na rin para i-reformat ang Love to Love kasi more than two years na rin naman itong umeere, nakakasawa na rin," kuwento sa amin. Kaya isa ang staff na nagkukwento sa amin na naghahanap siya ng bagong raket dahil nga hanggang Setyembre na lang sila at hindi pa sure kung kukunin sila uli para sa kapalit na show ng L2L dahil nga nagko-cost cutting ang production department ng GMA-7. At kung hindi rin kasi kami nagkakamali ay maraming shows na hawak ang mga staff ng nasa L2L dahil ka-join din sila sa Now and Forever, Posh, Sis, Family Zoo at Project 11.

Snooky..PAHAMAK!!

2006-08-03T00:43:00.000-07:00

Noong Linggo ay may ‘exclusive’ VTR interview ang S-Files kay Snooky Serna kaugnay sa isyung nagtangka itong magpakamatay.
Bilang handler/publicist ni Snooky, sa amin nakipag-usap ang segment producer ng S-Files tungkol sa interbyung ‘yon.
Pina-approve namin kay Snooky ang ‘exclusive’ VTR interview sa kanya ng S-Files at pumayag ang aktres, kaya nagulat kami nang malaman naming may VTR interview din pala sa aktres ang The Buzz.
Natural na mag-react ang mga taga-S-Files dahil hindi pala nila ‘exclusive’ si Snooky.
Sinita namin si Snooky. Sabi sa amin ng aktres, nakalimutan niya na na-interview siya ng staff ng The Buzz noong maospital siya sa Makati Medical Center.
Ang dapat daw kasi ay noong isang Linggo pa lumabas ang interbyung ‘yon at nang hindi ipalabas ng The Buzz ay nakalimutan na niya.
Pinagsabihan namin si Snooky kung bakit hindi niya ipinagpaalam sa amin ang VTR interview na ‘yon. Nakahihiya sa mga taga-S-Files dahil ‘exclusive’ ang usapan sa VTR interview niya.
Nag-sorry sa amin si Snooky, pero ipinagdiinan niya na sinabihan niya ang mga taga-The Buzz na na sabihan din kami, pero hindi naman kami sinabihan.
Noong Sabado ay tinawagan kami ni Nancy (executive producer ng The Buzz) para ipagpaalam kung pwede nilang i-guest nang live si Snooky, pero tumanggi kami at ipinaliwanag sa kanya na sorry dahil may exclusive deal kami sa S-Files at naunang komontak sa amin ang e.p. ng naturang show.
Sa usapang ‘yon ay hindi binanggit sa amin ni Nancy na may VTR interview rin sila kay Snooky, kaya nang sinisita na kami ng taga-S-Files ay sinabi namin na wala kaming alam sa bagay na ‘yon.
Gusto naming klaruhin dito na hindi namin "brilliant excuse" ang paliwanag na ‘yon sa taga-S-Files.
Kahapon ay tinawagan namin si Nancy, pati na rin si Ms. Guia (program manager for talk ng ABS-CBN 2) para ipaalam sa kanila na ilalabas namin ang pangyayari kaugnay ng ‘exclusive’ VTR interview ni Snooky.
Hindi kasi tamang kami ang masisi sa bagay na ‘yon dahil kami pa ang na-bypass ng staff ng The Buzz.
Nangako na sa amin si Snooky na sa susunod, hinding-hindi na siya papayag na magpa-VTR interview na hindi muna kami uma-agree.
Ang The Buzz naman, lalo na sina Ms. Guia at Nancy ay nangakong hindi na mauulit ang pangyayaring ‘yon.
‘Yun lang!

Ugly Betty - US version of Yo Soy Betty La Fea

2006-07-28T23:30:00.000-07:00

Ugly Betty
Premieres Friday, September 22 @ 8/7c only on ABC.
(check your local listings for schedules )

HOW a modest Colombian telenovela about a pitifully ugly woman trying to navigate the shallow waters of the fashion industry became one of the world’s most popular television shows is a Cinderella story of its own, one more unlikely than even the most optimistic screenwriter could imagine.

That show, “Yo Soy Betty La Fea” (“I Am Betty the Ugly”), could have been another one of the telenovelas — the nightly soap operas featuring a breathless blend of camp, melodrama and cliffhanger — that dominate primetime programming in Colombia. But its creator, Fernando Gaitán, had greater ambitions. So Mr. Gaitán created Beatriz Pinzón Solano, a woman with brains (Betty holds a master’s degree in economics), a heart (she is caretaker to her aging father) and a face so unfortunately contoured that it comes as a relief to find her forehead hidden under a fringe of oily black bangs.

By the end of its two-year run — 340 half-hour episodes, all written by Mr. Gaitán — “Yo Soy Betty La Fea” was Colombia’s most popular telenovela, pulling in three million viewers a night. Betty’s every move became a national obsession. With Colombia in the midst of a huge political bribery scandal, Betty briefly considered accepting money from a fabric company desperate to get into business with her boss.

It wasn’t long until Mr. Silverman of Hollywood took notice. After an unsuccessful attempt to make the show as a half-hour comedy at NBC, Mr. Silverman brought the actress Salma Hayek — who began her career as a star of Mexican telenovelas — on as a producer. They tried to find the most effective way to turn a half-hour nightly soap opera into an hour-long serial comedy-drama, and eventually they found a home for it at ABC.

“We toned down a bit of the drama,” Ms. Hayek said on the telephone. “What we didn’t want to lose was the feeling that at the end of every episode, you can’t wait to see what happens next.”
After working with two other writers, the pair discovered Silvio Horta, a young, first-generation Cuban-American writer. He was best known for two well-received science fiction shows (“Jake 2.0” and “The Chronicle”) but was itching to get into more character-based television. And it helped that he had telenovelas in his blood.

“We had one television growing up, and my mom would be watching the telenovelas every night. We had no choice. All my friends, first-generation immigrants, would make fun of them, and then become completely addicted,” said Mr. Horta, echoing the frustration of an entire generation of Latin men.

For his version Mr. Horta has held close to show’s template, with some local adaptations. Betty is a bit less ugly; Americans are apparently not ready for a unibrow in prime time. She’s also younger (played by America Ferera), works not as an assistant at a fashion house but at a fashion magazine in a Condé Nast-esque publishing empire and commutes each day to Manhattan from Queens. She’s also first-generation Mexican — Mr. Silverman and Ms. Hayek fought to keep her Latina — and, like the original Betty, has a singularly horrific fashion sense.

How will Betty play in America? Remakes of foreign shows are tricky: for every “All in the Family” (“Till Death Do Us Part” in Britain) and “The Office,” there is a “Coupling” or “The Kumars at No. 42,” a worldwide phenomenon whose American version was canceled before it was ever broadcast. “Ugly Betty” certainly faces an uphill battle — a difficult Friday-night time slot and a character who looks like she’s never heard of Bikram Yoga or macrobiotic salad dressing — yet it would be foolish to count it out. Betty has vanquished Colombian corruption and given Germany and Russia something they can agree on. Surely she won’t back down from NBC’s Friday night competition: the impossibly attractive crimefighters of “Crossing Jordan.”

Remember Yo Soy Betty La Fea? heres a picture to refresh your memory..

Atlantika

2006-07-26T00:05:00.000-07:00

HINDI naman siguro magagalit ang GMA-7 at si Direk Mark Reyes kung isusulat namin ang ilan sa cast ng Atlantika at info about the show dahil nasa Internet na ito. Ini-report na rin ito sa ilang show ng GMA-7 pati sa 24 Oras.

Makakasama nina Iza Calzado at Dingdong Dantes sina Rudy Fernandez, Jean Garcia, Ariel Rivera, Katrina Halili, Bianca King, Mark Gil, Pen Medina, Valerie Concepcion, Paolo Contis, Isabel Oli, Chynna Ortaleza, Gardo Versoza, Gene Padilla, Artgur Solinap, Jojo Alejar, Elvis Gutierrez at Cherry Pie Picache.

Tiyak na madaragdagan pa sila habang tumatakbo ang serye.

Dapat last Saturday ang first taping day, pero ’di natuloy at na-reset last Monday. Baka ’di rin natuloy dahil sa bagyo.

Sabi ni Direk Mark, original concept ito ni Jun Lana at hindi based sa Aqua Man at Man from Atlantis. Ibinalita ring nag-swimmng lessons ang cast members na ’di marunong lumangoy at si Dingdong ay nag-scuba diving lesson.

May martial arts at knife-fighting lessons din ang male cast, na ang nagtuturo ay instructor ng ilang Hollywood actors. Foreigner ito at didiskubrihin natin ang kanyang pangalan.

Miss Universe 2006

2006-07-23T23:15:00.000-07:00

Our very own Miss Lia Andrea Ramos didnt get the crown for Ms. Universe but she did get the tittle for Ms. Photogenic. I think this is the second time in a row Philippines got the tittle. I was very dis-appointed, because I was really rooting for this one.But atleast she got Ms. Photogenic. Although, another Asian country made it to top 5, and its no other than Ms. Japan herself, Kurara Chibana, but unfortunately she only got to 1st runner up. 2nd is Ms. Switzerland, Lauriane Gillieron, 3rd, Lourdes Arevalos of Paraguay and last but not the least Miss USA, Tara Conner. And the contestant who got the tittle is non-other than, (drum role).....Zuleyka Rivera of Puerto Rico..

i only got this info from some websites...after finding out Philippines didnt make it to top 20, i changed the channel right away..it was a bummer..oh well..which ones next?? Ms. World?? Ms. International??

Jason Hsu, to appear as 'contra bida' on CB

2006-07-19T00:02:00.000-07:00

Taiwanese superstar Jason Hsu (of My MVP Valentine and Twin Sister fame) will have his first telefantasya guesting in GMA! Jason will portray a robot in Captain Barbell. “I’m very excited,” he says. Naikwento ni Jason na ang unang hahanapin niya pagdating sa hotel ay ang kaniyang favorite Filipino food – lechon at dried mangoes. Despite his busy schedule, he still went out of his way to spend time with his fans in an intimate “Meet and Greet” inside the GMA compound. Nagkataon na nandoon din si Jolina Magdangal para i-welcome si Jason. Like most guys, Jason was swept away when he saw Angel Locsin’s poster, and he says that he wants to return to the country in the future to have a team up with Angel. “She’s really hot!” Jason says.Excited si Jason nang isukat niya ang robot outfit niya para sa Captain Barbell, at sigurado raw na magugustuhan ng kaniyang mga fans ang kaniyang kauna-unahang pagganap sa isang fantasy role.

source: igma.tv
-------------------------------------------------------

Noong isang gabi ay nainterbyu namin si Jason Hsu ng 5566.
Dumating ng bansa ang Taiwanese singer/actor para gumanap na kontrabida kay Richard Gutierrez sa Captain Barbell.
Okey lang sa kanya ang role na kontrabida. Ayon sa kanya ay walang problema ‘yon. Maganda raw kasi ang role na ‘yon.
Bale cyborg siya sa Captain Barbell at may control sa kanya ang kontrabidang si Richard Gomez.
Tinanong din namin si Jason kung okey lang ba sa mga kasama niya sa 5566 na siya lang ang kinuha ng GMA 7 para sa Captain Barbell.
"Okey lang, walang problema sa kanila. Nang malaman nila na lalabas ako sa Captain Barbell dito sa Philippines, gusto rin nilang lumabas din dito," sey ni Jason sa pamamagitan ng kanyang interpreter.

Hindi Si Sheryl Ang Bida, Kundi Si Sunshine

2006-07-16T17:18:00.000-07:00

Si Sunshine Dizon ang bida sa Bakekang. Ipinatawag na ng management ang aktres last week at personal na sinabi sa kanya ang bagong project. Sa labis na tuwa, umiyak ito’t hindi inaasahang pagkakatiwalaan ng malaking proyekto ng istasyon. Nag-text kami sa actress for confirmation, pero ‘di kami sinagot at first time itong ’di sumagot. Kundi last week ng July, first week ng August ang scheduled taping ng Bakekang, kaya baka mapadali ang pagkawala ni Sunshine sa Captain Barbell. Sina Gil Tejada at Khryss Adalia ang magtutulong sa pagdidirek nito at kundi mababago ang line-up, si Wendell Ramos ang makakapareha ni Sunshine. Ang tsika sa amin, kasama si Sheryl Cruz, pero ‘di pa alam ang role. Nabanggit din sina Nadine Samonte at Yasmien Kurdi sa cast, pero wala raw sa dalawa ang gaganap na anak ni Bakekang dahil ibang young star ang napipisil sa nasabing papel, na kukumpirmahin muna namin bago isulat. Hindi na rin daw kasama si Pauleen Luna dahil may iba itong project. Matutuwa si Sunshine sa nabalitaan naming ipinaglaban siya ng mga pumili sa kanya’t alam na makakaya nito ang role, pati ang madadramang eksena. Maganda rin itong follow-up project sa actress after Encantadia.

Cindy Kapalit daw Ni Pia Sa Eat Bulaga?

2006-07-15T15:00:00.000-07:00

Tatanggalin na ba si Pia Guanio as one of the hosts ng Eat Bulaga? Kaya namin naitanong ay dahil ipinasok na raw si Cindy Kurleto at may ugong na kapalit siya ni Pia. Nagulat kami sa isyung ito dahil wala naman kaming nakikitang dahilan para tanggalin si Pia, baka idinagdag lang si Cindy sa naturang programa dahil may request since maganda ang team-up nila ni Vic Sotto sa Daddy Di Do Du. Pero ang say sa amin, "Baka hindi bibiglaing tsugihin si Pia, uunti-untiin kasi remember, lahat ng nali-link kay bossing Vic, tsinutsugi para hindi makasira sa image? E, di ba, hanggang ngayon hindi pa namamatay ang isyung Vic at Pia? Nakakapagduda, di ba?" esplika sa amin ng taga-GMA-7. Sa ganang amin, parang sayang naman kung aalisin si Pia in favor of Cindy, sa totoo lang, mas okey panoorin si Pia kasi mahusay siyang host, kumpara kay Cindy na bulol at walang talent kundi maganda lang.

EB BABE: Last Women Standing

2006-07-15T02:08:00.000-07:00

Ngayong tanghali ang second elimination day ng EB Babes sa Eat Bu-laga.
Last Saturday ay isa na ang natanggal sa 22 semi-finalists. Tila inuunang tsugihin ‘yung mga ‘pasaway’ sa EB Babes Training Camp.
Nu’ng Hulyo 3 ay pumasok ang 22 girls sa nasabing training camp sa Sitio Lucia, Sta. Maria, Bulacan. Thirty days sila roon kung saan sasailalim sila sa matinding training under the supervision of their camp master na si Maribeth Bichara.
Ang suwerte ng EB Babes dahil pawang magagaling ang nagha-handle ng iba’t ibang training nila, tulad ni Jhong Hilario (ng Streetboys) para sa streetdancing.
Meron din silang jazz at ballroom dancing training, makeup lessons with Nina Ricci Alagao at kung anu-ano pa.
Nag-pictorial na rin sila at napili na kung sino ang pinaka-photogenic. Ang dinig namin ay tuturuan din sila ng taekwondo ni Monsour del Rosario at ng karate ni Ronnie Ricketts.
Live ang EB Babes semi-finalists sa Eat Bulaga studio tuwing Sabado at bawas na naman sila pagbalik nila ng training camp sa Lunes.
Umupa ang TAPE, Inc. ng isang resort sa Bulacan para sa nasabing contest ng Eat Bulaga. Mala-reality show ang drama nila roon at may daily updates sa mga awayan at kadramahan nila sa loob ng training camp.
Pagkatapos ng series of elimination, 12 na matitibay at mahuhusay na lang ang matitira sa training camp sa Agosto at paglabas ay magiging mapapalad na EB Babes ng Eat Bulaga!

Real Reason Why Bakekang Rights Goes To Kapuso

2006-07-13T17:45:00.000-07:00

ALAM na namin agad kung bakit napunta sa GMA-7 ang Bakekang ni Carlo Caparas. Ang bilis ng pagkakarating ng balita sa amin about this na na-deadline pa lang namin ang kuwento kahapon.

‘Di nga ba’t originally sa GMA-7 daw napunta ang Bakekang story kahit wala pang usapan na nagaganap between the Kapuso network and Carlo? Then, during the Panday days sa ABS-CBN, biglang nag-resurface ang Bakekang, but in the Kapamilya network na.

Sa Fantastic 56 show, officially announced nang Kapuso ang gagawa ng Bakekang, so we asked what happened.

A source called us to explain why. It turned out Carlo is negotiating daw for a show he would like to write, produce and direct sa GMA-7. He reportedly got an alternative offer, sa QTV. Kapalit nga ni-tong deal ay ang pagbigay ni-ya ng rights sa Siyete to produce Bakekang story.

We got another item regarding the planned soap. While it was written that Di-rek Eric Quizon will do the di-recting job, may ibang name na sinabi ang aming source -- si Gil Tejada raw ang magdi-direk nito.

May isa pa kaming scoop kung sino ang gaganap na anak ni Sheryl Cruz, pero abangan n’yo na lang ‘yan sa column na ito tomorrow.

Newest on GMA Prime Time Line Up...

2006-07-12T18:15:00.000-07:00

BAKIT kaya sa GMA-7 napunta ang Bakekang ni Carlo J Caparas?

Nai-announce ni GMA Network president Atty. Gozon during the Fantastic 56 show last Sunday na ang Bakekang at Atlantica will be the next in line na ipu-produce ng Kapuso bilang primetime soap.

Naalaala namin out of nowhere na bigla na lang sumambulat ang balitang gagawin nga ito ng Siyete even before the rights were given. Panahon ‘yun ng Kampanerang Kuba ng ABS -CBN and some Kapamilya PR brought this out na gaya-gaya raw ang GMA-7 na porke may Vilma Santos movie-turned-soap sila, dapat may Nora Aunor movie-turned -soap naman ang Kapuso.

Tapos, after a while, biglang nabalita na sa ABS-CBN pala ito gagawin kasabayan ng news when Carlo sold the Panday rights to ABS-CBN.

Ai Ai delas Alas name was brought up na possible Bakekang. Finally, napunta rin ito sa Siyete at may pangalang attached na rin, si Sheryl Cruz nga raw as Bakekang. We heard it will either kay Yasmien Kurdi or Nadine Samonte, mga ‘anak’ ni Sheryl sa dalawang successful Now and Fore-ver episodes niya.

Back to our first question, ang pagkakulelat kaya ng Panday sa ratings ang dahilan kaya sa GMA-7 na ibinigay ni Carlo ang Bakekang?

------------------------

MAGKAKASAMA pala sa Bakekang sina Nadine Samonte at Yasmien Kurdi. Kambal silang anak ni Sheryl Cruz, na lalabas sa title role na Bakekang.

Ayon sa isang source, ang lalabas na mahirap sa dalawang kambal ay si Nadine, si Yasmien naman, aampunin ng mayamang pamilya.

Ang Bakekang ay komiks novel ni Carlo Caparas, na unang nilabasan ni Nora Aunor.

Mas mauuna pa raw itong i-tape ng GMA-7 kesa sa Atlantika nina Dingdong Dantes at Iza Calzado.

------------------------

SA Fantastic 56 anniversary ng GMA-7, in-announce ni Atty. Felipe Gozon na dalawa sa bagong teleserye ng network ay ang Bakekang at Atlantika.

This Thursday na ang story conference ng Atlantika at baka next week, magsimula na si direk Mark sa taping nito.

Nang makausap namin sa shooting ng Eternity, ayaw pa ring banggitin ni direk ang cast ng teleserye’t sina Dingdong Dantes, Iza Calzado at Paolo Contis lang ang kinumpirma.

Nagulat pang alam ng press na ka-join din sina Rudy Fernandez at Valerie Concepcion. After the storycon, malalaman na kung sino pa sa bubuo ng cast ang galing sa Sugo, galing sa Mulawin, dalawa pang galing sa Encantadia at former ABS-CBN stars.

Ipinaalam din ni Atty. Gozon na dalawang pelikula ang gagawin ng GMA Films before the year ends. Isa rito’y ang Till I Met You nina Regine Velasquez at Robin Padilla.

Ang isa kaya’y ang pelikula na ni Sharon Cuneta?

A Must See Movie # 2 - Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest

2006-07-11T04:13:00.000-07:00

MANDARAMBONG! Humigit-kumulang sa $132M ang hinamig ng piratang si Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) sa unang tatlong araw ng pagpapalabas ng Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest sa North America.
Nagtala ito ng record bilang best debut. Nilampasan nito ang record ng Spider Man (2002) na naka-$114.8M sa unang weekend.
Halos tatlong beses na mas malakas ang Dead Man’s Chest kesa sa Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl ($46.6M ang opening weekend gross noong 2003).
Aba! Sa unang araw pa lamang ay naka-$55.5M na ang sequel noong Biyernes – mas malakas sa unang tatlong araw ng The Curse of the Black Pearl!
Dahil sa $55.5M na siya ay nakuha ng Dead Man’s Chest ang best single-day record, na hawak dati ng Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith ($50M domestic gross sa isang araw)
Noong Sabado ay naka-$44.7M ang Dead Man’s Chest, kaya ito ang unang pelikula na umabot sa $100M ang domestic gross sa loob lamang ng dalawang araw.
Malinaw na malinaw, tatlong matitinding record ang naitala ng Dead Man’s Chest kesa sa Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl – pinakamalakas na opening weekend gross, pinakamalakas na single-day gross, at pinakamabilis na umabot sa $100M-mark!
***
Ang kampeon ng nakaraang weekend, ang Superman Returns, ay pumangalawa sa takilya.
Humigit-kumulang sa $21.8M ang hinamig ng Superman Returns last weekend, kaya tinatayang $141.7M na ang kinita nito sa dalawang weekend.
Tiyak na aabot sa $200M ang domestic gross ng launching movie ni Brandon Routh.

Ang Pagbabago..a show that will change your life

2006-07-10T19:41:00.000-07:00

Ngayong Lunes na ang simula ng Ang Pagbabago, ang bagong show hosted by Diana Zubiri and Alfred Vargas. Excited na ang dalawa’t bagong field ang kanilang pinasok at kung susuwertihin, baka tuluy-tuloy na ang pagiging host nila. Sabi’y ‘pag nag-klik ito’y baka ilipat ang show sa time slot ng Extra Challenge. Ibig bang sabihin, sina Diana at Alfred na ang bagong Paolo Bediones at Miriam Quiambao ng GMA-7? Samantala, sa Wednesday na ang showing ng I Wanna Be Happy na dalawa sa mga bida ay sina Diana at Alfred. Siguradong maninibago ang kanilang fans sa linis ng pelikula’t wala silang kissing scene at cleavage lang ang ipinakita ng actress. Nausisa pa rin si Alfred sa pagkikita nila ng mommy ni LJ Reyes sa New York. Nagbigay respeto raw siya at in-assure itong walang dapat ikabahala’t aalagaan niya ang dalaga. Maganda’t bata at puwede raw maging artista ang mommy ng dalaga. Ann Taylor bag ang pasalubong niya kay LJ kapalit ng jacket na ipinasalubong sa kanya nang manggaling ito ng New York noong May.

A Must See Movie..

2006-07-04T01:47:00.000-07:00

Rate: ****/5

A workaholic architect, Michael Newman (Adam Sandler), who came across to a universal remote that allows him to fast-forward and rewind parts of his life. But all good things must come to an end, when everything becomes chaotic.

Click is just one of Adam Sandler's comedy movies. But the last 30 minutes are brilliant, heartwarming, heartbreaking, emotional film that touches your brain and heart and makes you realize how important family, life, and the consequences of the choices that we make. Also the last 30 minutes, Michael Newman (Adam Sandler) puts the audience in tears with the situation all of us fears to be in. But all of this wouldnt be as powerful if Sandler didnt put his great performance into it.

The movie also stars:

Kate Beckinsale
Kristopher Walken
David Hasselhoff
Jennifer Coolidge

and many more..

Regine-Robin re-unite on big screen

2006-07-02T16:45:00.000-07:00

Matutuloy na rin pala ang balik-tambalan sa pelikula nina Regine Velasquez at Robin Padilla at sa GMA Films ito. Ang super busy na si Mark Reyes ang director ng pelikulang may title na Till I Met You, pinasikat na kanta ni Kuh Ledesma. Matipid si direk dahil ang ikinuwento lang ay nakapag-story conference na sila sa romantic-comedy movie kung saan, kasama sina Jackie Rice at Marky Cielo pero, di binanggit ang role ng mga bida.

Sa Star Cinema nabalitang gagawa ng pelikula si Regine na iko-co-produced sana ng Viva Films at si Piolo Pascual ang kanyang leading man. Hindi yun matuluy-tuloy dahil sa conflict of schedule. Naalala namin ang sinabi ni Regine na she can’t wait forever.

Matutuwa rin naman ang fans nila ni Robin na matagal ding naghintay ng follow-up movie sa una nilang ginawa sa Viva Films na sa katagalan, ‘di na namin maalala ang title. Box-office ang movie na’yun

im a big Regine fan..and i would want to see Robin and Regine on a movie once again..also Marky Cielo and Jackie Rice is gonna be in it..how exciting.

PACQUIAO DOMINATES LARIOS

2006-07-02T16:23:00.000-07:00

Manny Pacquiao looks over a fallen Oscar Larios in dying seconds of the final round following a big left as referee Bruce McTavish gets ready to toll the count. Filipino icon Manny Pacquiao proved why he is a pound-for-pound king with a dominating performance over Mexico's Oscar Larios just an hour ago (July 1, Philippines) at the Araneta Coliseum in Manila. Pacquiao, the southpaw with sledgehammer fists, knocked down Larios twice in the fight, and dominated virtually all the other rounds en route to an emphatic unanimous decision win. France's Humbert Furgoni saw it 117-110, Belgium's Daniel Van Del Wiele penned it 118-108, while Thailand's Noppharat Sricharoen had it 120-106 all in favor of the iconic Filipino. The win solidified a November 18 rubbermatch between Pacquiao and another Mexican, Erik Morales. Pacquiao was in cruise control in the fight, except in the third when Larios rocked him with several big rights and pinned him on the ropes. Pacquiao, however, rebounded with a performance for the ages, clinically dismantling and bloodying the game and gutsy hombre from Guadalajara. "Starting in the 4th, I made an adjustment because he's also a good inside fighter," said Pacquiao when asked about the third-round scare. In the undercard, Czar Amonsot edged out a gutsy Silverio Ortiz via unanimous decision, Gerry Penalosa decisioned a tough-as-advertised Tomas Rojas, while Jimrex Jaca prevailed on a seventh-round technical decision over Hector Marquez.

June 29, 2006My Comment About Pacman’s Upper Box Seat Prices.
Filed under: ABS-CBN

So I Can’t Take This anymore….I Have To react On this Matter.
You Know What? It’s So Sickenning to Know That ABS-CBN is Using The Fight Of Manny Pacquiao To Have Bigger earnings….
Gawin Bang Gatasan ang mga Tao??!?
It’s A Very desperate Act,Tama Bang Gamitin ang mga Tao Para Kumita sila ng Malaki?
Man,Saan Ka Ba Makakakita ng Event na Nagkakahalaga ng P 50,000?
Hello,that’s enough for a Living!,Mas mura Pa Nga ang F4 concert[P20,000 ang upper Box] Kaysa Diyan!
I think Pacman is right….Masyado na silang Garapal.
Sana Gawan ito ni Pacman ng Paraan….
Nakakahiya na ang Isang Network na Tulad ng ABS a gaganyanin ang Mga Tao,Tht’s a Scam.
Hindi Yan Nangyari sa RPN at Solar Sports.
Yan ba Yung sinasabi nilang Bawat Pinoy Kapamilya?
Lord,Repent Their sins! Baka Pag Naintindihan Yan ng mga Foreigners,baka isipin Nila na ang mga Pinoy ay Sugapa sa salapi ng Iba.
--------------------------------------------
i know a lot is gonna be offended by this. and i also dont agree to all of these statements. i was just dis-appointed with the price of the tickets. c'mmon, 50,000 pesos?? who can afford that..even the lowest ticket was almost 8,000 pesos. our country is already suffering.

--------------------------------------------
“Ticket prices are too expensive,” answered Michael. Ringside tickets are sold for P50,000, patron seats for P30,000, lower box seats for P20,000, upper box seats for P7,900, the bleacher seats for P500. And these prices don’t even include the E-VAT! “Wakee (Salud),” said Salven Labumbay of the Philippine Daily Inquirer, “told me even he won’t pay P30,000 for a seat. And that’s coming from a multi-millionaire!” Here’s the danger: TV footage showing thousands of empty chairs. “That would be embarrassing,” said Michael.
